STEP 1: Recall on how to plot a point on the coordinate axis

plot (-1,2)

STEP 2: Recall what is slope of a line

STEP 3: Recall how to calculate the slope of a line

Since the slope is 2 which means the \frac{rise}{run} = \frac{2}{1}

Moive 2 spaces upwards and 1 space to the right

STEP 4: Now join these points to get a straight line

This is the slope of the line.
